Independence Blue Cross and its affiliates (IBC) are planning to introduce a new Medicare Advantage HMO product, Keystone 65 Select HMO, beginning January 1, 2012, that will have a smaller, limited network of providers, called the Keystone 65 Select network. The new Keystone 65 Select HMO was developed in response to our members’ requests for more affordable product options.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Keystone 65 Select HMO will be the size and scope of its provider network, the Keystone 65 Select network. This will allow IBC to offer a value-based alternative to our standard, large network product offerings. The Keystone 65 Select network will not include all hospitals participating in our current Medicare Advantage HMO network. Instead, the Keystone 65 Select network will be a subset of the existing IBC-contracted network and will consist of hospitals located in Philadelphia, Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, and Chester counties.
Below is a list of hospitals that are participating in the Keystone 65 Select network. Please note that if a participating IBC hospital does not appear on this list, it means the hospital is not participating in the Keystone 65 Select network, and members who enroll in the Keystone 65 Select HMO should not be referred to these hospitals for non-emergency services.
